Well the next step in the process is done. Got the therypist and the Doc to send the letters saying I have fulfilled the things I needed to. These were told to me in my initial eval. i was supposed to expand my circle of friend(I joined the mens group at church). I was told you get meds eval and change or ad to my meds to help me to function beter(now on welbutron.) I was told to try to loose 10% of my weight(have starting walking more than normal). Also was told to start trying to eat as if i already had receive the surgury(i am eating cream suops, jello, clear soups etc) and the fianl thing was eval mt childhood and discuss the reasons i am OW and what the childhood may have had to do with it,(plenty of therypy and on going councling). I called the WLS docters office and they told me when they revceived the 2 letters they would get the final ok and sent the file to the doctor for a follow up visit and then to the insurance. As UHC is usually fast with thrir approvals, this could happen very soon. At first i was happy about the news but as I sat there I started to get scared again. man it hit me I was almost there. WOW. I am scared but will not bow out and cancell. I will follow this through to the end.
I have a question that was asked me. How long does a normal surgury take? I have a different surgeon than most of you but I would figure the open operation is about the same throughout the USA. ALso, Are there any folks in florida or tampabay area on here?
